Read the article below.

Apple has reached a market value of $1 trillion ($1,000,000,000,000), making it the first US company to do so. The tech company has surpassed the target ahead of competitors Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Apple's stock has reached a record-high price of $207 per share. Apple would be ranked 17th in the world, equal to Indonesia if it were a country.

Steve Jobs started Apple in a garage in California in 1976. The company became well-known for its computer production over its first two decades. The MP3 device that Apple later created, which is the iPod, also helped to save the company from bankruptcy 20 years ago.

The company's most popular product is the iPhone, which was released in 2007 and was the first smartphone ever. At the moment, Apple's sales and profitability are increasing. Also, it makes a profit through selling apps and music.

With sales of more than $220 billion in 2017, Apple has made profits in the range of $50 billion. In 2018, Apple was the first company in the Big Tech sector to reach the $1 trillion benchmark.
